So who’s actually enjoying this heat wave?

So we all know that mumsnetters love a good argy bargy over Summer vs Winter.

Are people actually enjoying this heat? If you are, what is it about it that you like?

Yabu - it’s great I love it
Yanbu - it’s too hot

I like it a bit. Just sunshine nice weather, outdoors. Yeah it’s too hot and hard to sleep but I’d rather that then rain rain rain

I am not working this week and my gym has an open air pool. I don't have AC at home but my best friend does and she only lives 5 minutes away. Loving it!

HATE IT. Roll on September when it is cool enough to actually do the gardening, walking etc

Now I’ve acclimatised I’m alright.
Got more ice cream today, fan is blowing, sitting under the gazebo in the garden.
It takes a few days, when it suddenly goes proper hot it’s a shock to the body. Takes ages to find the summer clothes!

I’m in my element tbh, I love the sun and the heat. Yes its warm at night but I’m not vulnerable/pregnant/ill etc, I’m healthy and enjoying the heat.
Work was chilly with the ac, had to keep nipping outside to warm up!
my house is very warm everywhere - it won’t last long, pretty soon I’m sure we’ll be back to dismal grey skies, rain and wind.

im loving the sunshine. I’m currently sitting in a pub garden by a river, lots of shade for those that need it.

It's a great break from what's been a lot of drizzle and coat weather!!! 🌞🌞

Prefer grey and rain over this any day. Even the shade is too hot. I can’t comprehend how anybody can enjoy it. Luckily I wfh and have basically been housebound all week. I’ve nipped to the shop twice and it was unbearable. I guess it depends where you are though, I’m in central London.

I’m in south London and it’s boiling, but I’m really enjoying it.

I like it with the caveat that our home is quite easy to keep cool. DS’s nursery closed at 1 today so after his nap we went to a local beach about 4.30pm. It’s the perfect spot (aside from not having much parking, we were lucky). Big patches of shade because it’s north facing with cliffs around, calm & shallow pebbly entrance to the water, lots of families there pier jumping and paddle boarding and BBQing. Perfect evening.

I am loving it. I’m not going to let being an overweight menopausal woman stop me from enjoying the sun

I love it. Absolutely perfect weather for me!

I feel most comfortable in the hottest weather imaginable.
The “comfort” everyone else feels in cooler temperatures is shivery weather for me.

I would love it if I didn’t have preschool kids. As it is, it’s awful 🫠😂
I remember summer of 2018 with all the heatwaves and World Cup, I didn’t leave the pub garden 😎

DH is loving it. His theory is that his high blood pressure comes down and he feels good as a result. Not sure of any scientific basis for this but I have low blood pressure and feel proper shite.

It's ok
Not what I would say is our ideal weather
But it's ok

90 % loving it!

North west so hot but not as bad as south and nights are bearable.
Just had a massive water fight with my 5 year old and laughed so hard my tummy hurt.
I’m allowed to WFH so no travelling.

I had about an hour this afternoon which was pretty grim - had to rush to get DS from school and then come back to do a call with my ancient laptop blasting out heat. Everyone promised to keep it short and inevitably, it went on for ages. The heat felt stifling at that point but I went out for a walk and there’s a nice breeze (London) so I’m back to enjoying it now.

I am in the day, not so much when trying to sleep. I work from home, my (stone) house keeps really cool, and I have a very comfortable egg chair in the garden. The sunshine lifts my mood.

Love the calm early mornings, the balmy breeze when I take my evening stroll and I kind of like the new routine of extra showers 😅 I even like the endless squash and iced drinks and salads.

There's a bit of a summer holiday feel 🌞

Don't like the temperature in the house but you can't have everything and it's only a few days 🙌

I like it. I’d like it even more if I wasn’t in work.

I have super low blood pressure. I feel amazing in the heat. Sorry!

26C is unbearable. Not coping at all.

I absolutely love it!

I like it for myself but I just saw a distressed hedgehog in my garden looking for water. Fortunately I had put out several shallow bowls and wet the grass but I’m still worried.
